Clearing up bad info on Plasma Display's.


This post is in response to a reply posted earlier on this forum.
It has been suggested that one of the limiting issues with plasma display technology is "the need to recharge them every few years, at $300-$500 a pop." This is absolutely, unequivocally, patently, UNTRUE! While shopping at a national brick and mortar store I was told the same thing by a poorly informed sales person. He went on to tell me that the company, as part of an extended warratnry, could "re-fill" my display for $99.99.
Thank the god's that I had done my research. He seemed a bit confused when I asked him if it ran best on 87, 89, or 91 octane!

As an owner of a a plasma, I will freely admit that they are not perfect. However, no technology, available today, meets the standard of perfection. All have pro's and con's. I hope that we can, when offering advice to those soliciting it, base it on fact, experience, and research.

Oh, did I mention, that if you soak your feet in mayonaise you can cure seasonal allergies? Honest, a rep at a store told me so.

The biggest problem with plasma's becomes evident if you live in high altitude.

here in denver a plasma might sound fine for a month or two but eventually they beging to BUZZ. Sounds kinda like a bug-zapper.

There are some plasma displays that have supposedly conquered this problem with high altitude buzzing but they all buzz too. :)

If yer this high up, gotta go with LCD
